Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Battery

Step 2

  • Next step is to remove the screws that keep the plastic back plate on. You’ll find:
  • Pentalobe P2 screw (x9)
  • NFC Module
  • Use a spudger to remove the plastic plate, being careful with the NFC module (form what I saw, it doesn’t detach form the plate, and even if it does, it’s just easier to keep it together

Step 4

  • Remove the battery, unlike the Original Mi 8 Pro, I didn’t find any glue tabs to remove the battery, so I used a mix of my Halberd Spudger, and a plastic card to remove the battery.
  • Insert the replacement battery, and test the phone.
